    While I'm not particularly prominent here, I certainly am a good battler which several battlers on Smogon can attest to. I am an editor for the webzine (which is dead I think), and have been here for a while but have mostly been lurking (though now I'm gonna go get 20 posts). I have done well in tournaments on smogon and have a deep knowledge of the metagame. I don't have a particularly large resume but I am a potent battler, and would like you to consider me for a top 8 or sub position. Thanks.

    Stop telling everyone how many more posts they need... the captains themselves can do that.

    I would like to join. ok NOW i have 20 posts Erebos and I have won 2 DW Tourneys, 1 Gen 4 OU, but my skill right now is higher in gen 5 than gen 4 though that is because i have been focusing on the new metagame. I do play gen 4 from time to time on Shoddy and PO, and I have been pretty successful on Shoddy

    I know that i dont have 2 months experience on this account but combined with my old account of dRAKE (it stopped working (login problems)) the A is a heart and the E is a sigma i think i do have the 2 months so i hope you will give me a chance.

    I'm not sure if my join date qualifies (I'll know when I post this and can see it!) but I'll play if you need me.

    Edit: Wow, I was here for three months already.

    Is this tournament still going on? Well...if it is I'm interested in joining as I'm surely qualified(I have Master in my name, duh!) not to mention people recognize my skills on any server.

    As my qualifications go, here they are:

    I'm a megauser on the /tr/ server, I am the owner of the Southern Island server(Thanks Crystal Moogle :3), I have won numerous tournaments in different tiers.

    But I must admit that I do not just randomly challenge people or battle for rank(Which I should).

    HOLY FUCK. I want in. I've been top on OU gen 4 LB by over 150 points on PO before, topped out on new accounts numerous times, and hit #3 on the shoddy OU gen 4 leaderboard before I even came to PO. I've won more OU tourneys than I can count, and battle so much that I can predict a team of my opponent's based on the first 3.
    My activeness has been a little low recently because of my homework, but the amount is lower now :D
    I've been playing since gen 3.
    Uhh... Any other things I need?

    I would definitely like to apply for a position. CRE is 1525, peaked at no.3 or 4
    Edit: I'll put a bit more details in here. Gen4 OU is my most enjoyable and my best tier of all gens. I've been playing for around 1.5 years and gained experience vsing thousands of opponents. I've stopped playing DW for a while and starting laddering on gen4 OU on PO recently. I have been online a lot and been enjoying testing adjustments to my teams. If I were able to get a position, I'd be very happy :D.

    yessss! (wow, I'm surprised)

    Anyway, like a lot of people I'm pretty confident in gen 5 DW (got 1502 once), but not quite so in gen 4 (well I kinda suck in gen 4-on Shoddy, most of the time I was only 145x or something, I aimed for the leaderboard twice, once I got 153x or sth but d/c 3 times in a row -RAGE- so I stopped, the second time I failed with only 1493 or sth-that team sucked I guess). I don't play gen 4 on PO often, but I did get to top 40 OU....(ugh, this is lame I suppose)

    Well, I happen to meet the requirements so I'd like to join

    Our roster looks pretty freaking epic, I have to admit. I'm glad our top players are joining, I was afraid we would be stuck with players of my level and get crushed. Go Team PO!

    Well, as some of you know, I have a roster in mind already. I wanted to run it by Eternal before I made it official, but he hasn't responded to my PM, nor have I seen him online recently. Therefore, unless I get to talk to him before then, I will be posting the official roster tomorrow. :)

    Applications are now closed. Thank you to all that applied. And as promised, here is the official PO Team roster:

    Main Team:

    Eternal
    kokoloko
    M Dragon
    Harry
    Picklesword
    Platinum
    Phop
    Jedgi

    I have yet to make a final decision about substitutes, as I can only pick two. However, I have narrowed it down to:

    Medic, Gtfo, Ginku, Ala, and/or Pearl.

    Btw, if any of you have a different name on Smogon, please PM it to me before the end of tomorrow so I can give Kevin Garrett the official roster list.

    Now lets bust some ass. :)

    (19:08:23) Welcome Message: Team PO as of now: Eternal, kokoloko, M Dragon, Harry, Picklesword, Platinum, Phop, Jedgi and 2 Subs (choice is between Medic, Gtfo, Pearl, Ala, and Ginku). If you are not one of these people, leave or you will be kicked.

    Is this true?

    Yep, I was giving Eternal a couple more hours to reply to my PM though. Also, it was my job to post that, not yours.
